“A Man’s man. Uncle John had a great life and story. Military Vet, successful lawyer, and family man. Lots of good memories in little league sports, NJ shore, backyard BBQ, holidays, jokes and keeping it light. Took time to help with me with a landlord and former employer. Taught me how to fish, card games and life advice. Classic car enthusiast. Took care of his mother with cognitive issues. Might have been the only person watching the Simpson’s. RIP Uncle John. Love ya. TY for the memories”
